00:00Princess Florine and the Bluebird

00:08Once upon a time, there lived a king.

00:11And his queen didn't anymore.

00:13Though he was very rich in land and money,

00:15he was grief-stricken.

00:17When he lost his wife,

00:19he was inconsolable,

00:21shut himself up in his royal room,

00:23stopped eating,

00:27and knocked his head against the wall.

00:29His subjects tried to console him,

00:31to no avail.

00:33Your Majesty, we are worried about you.

00:36You haven't eaten in eight days.

00:39Lest the king hurt himself,

00:41his chamber was padded with mattresses

00:44between the walls and tapestry.

00:47Your Majesty,

01:00please allow us to help you

01:02through this difficult time.

01:07What's the matter, lady?

01:09Please stop crying.

01:13My name is Seraphina Thorne.

01:15I lost my husband a month ago, too.

01:18I feel your pain.

01:20I see.

01:22Your sorrow mirrors mine.

01:25I come not to ease your pain, sire,

01:28but to share in it.

01:30For to mourn a beloved is to honor them.

01:34Everyone, please leave the room

01:37except Seraphina.

01:42The king, struck by her words,

01:44found a strange solace in their shared despair.

01:47They exchanged tales of their lost loves,

01:49their grief bonding them.

01:51He decided to marry her.

01:54Now, at the hasty royal wedding,

01:56the king's daughter, Princess Florine,

01:59was present.

02:00She was beautiful and kind-hearted.

02:03Queen Seraphina sent for her own daughter,

02:05Veruca, raised by the fairy Morgana.

02:09However, grace and conventional beauty

02:11weren't her strengths.

02:18Just a week later,

02:19Queen Seraphina hatched another plan.

02:23My dearest husband,

02:25our daughters are blossoming.

02:27Don't you think it's time they found suitable matches?

02:32But, darling,

02:33don't you think we are nose-diving into this?

02:37After I lost my last husband,

02:39I understood that time flies.

02:41Why wait?

02:43Veruca is ready.

02:45And what about her sister, Florine?

02:48Veruca and Florine are the same age.

02:52Florine's beauty enraged the queen,

02:55who ignited petty quarrels

02:57and seized every chance to humiliate her.

03:00Veruca might be ready,

03:02but Florine has been through quite a lot

03:05in the last few months.

03:07Perfect.

03:08Let the first prince to arrive choose his bride.

03:12It will be a grand event.

03:21Princess, the queen,

03:22she's ordered me to take away

03:24all of your beautiful dresses and jewels.

03:27But why?

03:29It's for Veruca, isn't it?

03:32I understand.

03:33Please take good care of them.

03:35Some are gifts for my late mother.

03:46There, darling,

03:47you look absolutely radiant.

03:50Those jewels are simply made for you.

03:53Prince Charming will fall head over heels for me.

03:58That very afternoon,

03:59Prince Charming arrived

04:01in a flying chase drawn by winged frogs.

04:05Poor Princess Florine wished to deck herself,

04:08but she could not find as much as a ribbon

04:10and a dirty old frock.

04:16Stand tall, dear.

04:18Any minute, King Charming will arrive.

04:21Remember,

04:22you are the vision of Princess Sleeperfection.

04:25Stop slouching.

04:26Don't let her outshine you.

04:32The queen presented Veruca to the prince,

04:35who arrived with much fanfare.

04:37You must be the princess.

04:39A pleasure to meet you.

04:41Oh, Veruca is simply radiant today.

04:44Don't you agree?

04:46Radiance is one way to put it.

04:50Is there another princess?

04:52That's her.

04:53She's hiding because her dress isn't fancy.

04:57Princess, your beauty transcends any adornment.

05:00Your Majesty,

05:01I would have preferred you not notice me.

05:04I apologize for my rather simple attire.

05:07It would be impossible not to notice

05:09such a beautiful princess.

05:11This is ridiculous.

05:13Florine needs no more flattery.

05:16I understand the queen mother isn't too pleased,

05:20but may I talk to you in the garden?

05:22Yes, of course.

05:25Florine!

05:26Why must she be so perfect?

05:29Ow!

05:30Mama!

05:31She made me do it!

05:34Don't you dare blame your feelings on others.

05:37You are my daughter,

05:39and you will be a princess.

05:42Well, what did you say?

05:45I said,

05:46you are my daughter,

05:48and you will be a princess.

05:52Well, what did you learn?

05:55Queen mother,

05:56a eavesdropped on them.

05:58He is going to propose,

06:00and the prince plans to elope with Florine.

06:03They'll meet at the small window overlooking the garden.

06:06Foolish boy.

06:08We'll thwart his plan.

06:10Veruca will be waiting for him instead.

06:13The maid,

06:14acting on Seraphina's orders,

06:16distracted Florine with her colleagues

06:19as they returned all the jewelry and dresses,

06:21which gave Veruca the time window

06:23to execute the plan.

06:29Florine,

06:30are you there?

06:31Yes, your majesty.

06:33I'm here.

06:35My love,

06:36I'm here to take you away.

06:38We'll start a new life together.

06:42But I'm so unhappy, your majesty.

06:47Life has been cruel lately.

06:50Don't worry, my dear.

06:51We'll escape this misery together.

06:53Will you be my wife?

06:55Yes, your majesty.

06:57I would like that very much.

07:00This is a symbol of my devotion.

07:02Just tell me when you're ready,

07:04and we'll leave.

07:06Tomorrow, I'll be ready.

07:08Same time, same place.

07:17She must be nervous.

07:19I'll wait a little while longer.

07:23See, daughter?

07:24It was simple.

07:25Now you're engaged to the prince.

07:28He didn't even notice it was me.

07:31Excellent!

07:32He'll be back tomorrow night for your escape.

07:35You know the drill.

07:36Meanwhile,

07:37to add insult to injury,

07:39Queen Seraphina stormed into Princess Florine's chambers.

07:42Behold,

07:43my daughter, the princess.

07:45Prince Charming loves her dearly,

07:47and they are to be wed.

07:49These are wedding gifts for your sister, my dear.

07:59What?

08:00What?

08:01When?

08:02He betrayed me.

08:04Please, take these things away.

08:07I can't bear to look at them.

08:10Take the princess to the high tower,

08:12and lock her away.

08:14She's overcome with joy for her sister.

08:17Do as I say.

08:35Florine, darling, are you there?

08:38Are you there?

08:39When shall we wed, my dear?

08:46I have a godmother,

08:48Fairy Morgana.

08:50First, I wish to visit her castle and seek blessings.

08:54Very well.

08:56To Morgana's castle it is.

08:58The prince did not know the way.

09:00He simply told his big frogs to take them there.

09:04Behold, your majesty,

09:06a map of the entire world

09:08etched into the brains of these loyal beasts.

09:12With them, you can travel anywhere your heart desires.

09:17Wow, impressive.

09:28I will go find her.

09:34He thinks of Florine.

09:37Leave it to me, my dear.

09:39What sorcery is this?

09:41Where is Florine?

09:43Charming.

09:44Fulfill your promise.

09:46Marry Princess Veruca.

09:48Never.

09:49My heart belongs to Florine.

09:51Am I not your princess?

09:54I was tricked and deceived.

09:56My frogs, I must leave.

10:00You will marry Veruca

10:02or face the consequences.

10:05Do as you please, but I love Florine.

10:08She will never be your wife.

10:10Your fate is sealed.

10:12Seven years as a bluebird.

10:14Prince Charming's body convulsed.

10:16Feathers erupted from his skin.

10:18His limbs shrank and transformed.

10:21Wings replaced arms

10:23and talons replaced toes.

10:29The prince, now a bluebird,

10:31flitted between trees.

10:33He was despaired,

10:35fearing Florine's suffering

10:36and a forced marriage.

10:38Florine, heartbroken because of her lost love,

10:42spent days weeping by the window

10:44and nights lamenting her fate.

10:49The bluebird overheard Florine's cries of despair.

10:52Why? Why me?

10:55At nightfall, he heard her lament her misfortune.

10:58He listened intently to understand her plight.

11:06Is it truly you, my love?

11:09Your imprisonment pains me.

11:11Who are you, beautiful bird?

11:13You already know.

11:15I don't understand.

11:17A lovesick prince who loves only you.

11:21Florine was still heartbroken.

11:23She recounted Veruca's gloating

11:25and flaunting the ring.

11:27But the ring...

11:28Lies. They tricked me.

11:30I ran away as soon as I realized it.

11:33Being a bluebird for seven years

11:37is better than betraying you.

11:40My heart was so heavy.

11:42I can breathe again, my prince.

11:45I missed you so much.

11:47I wish I could hold you in my arms.

11:49But, my love,

11:51but you're so vulnerable as a bird.

11:54Predators lurk everywhere.

11:56Owls, hawks, cats.

11:59Don't worry, my love.

12:01We'll meet every night.

12:02Remember the day we met?

12:04The bluebird consumed by love

12:06desired to show his devotion and affection.

12:21A small token of my love.

12:23Your presence is all I need.

12:25But thank you.

12:27I wish you could visit during the day.

12:29I'll find a way.

12:31The bluebird returned to his kingdom,

12:33his love brimming with cute gestures.

12:44My love for you needs no such tokens.

12:47But your thoughtfulness warms my heart.

12:50No, madame.

12:51But these trinkets are mere reminders of my love

12:54when we're apart during the day.

12:56They continued their nightly rendezvous.

13:00Meanwhile, the flying frog carriage

13:02remained parked outside for over a week.

13:06And this time,

13:07when the bluebird sneaked inside the treasure chest,

13:09he was busted.

13:13Where do you think you're going,

13:15you little thief?

13:17It's me, your prince.

13:19A talking bird?

13:21Wait, you've known me as a boy.

13:23What are you saying?

13:24Is that really you?

13:26It sure sounds like you.

13:29Yes, it is indeed me.

13:31Morgana the fairy did this.

13:33Can you undo it?

13:35Wait,

13:36Morgana did this to you?

13:38The good news was,

13:40the wizard and Morgana had known each other

13:42for 6,000 years.

13:44And despite their history of bickering,

13:46they always found a way to resolve.

13:49Meanwhile,

13:50back at Hightower,

13:53Prince Florine was restless.

13:56It's past midnight.

13:58Where is he?

13:59When the wizard couldn't break

14:00Fairy Morgana's curse,

14:02he flew to her,

14:04seeking a compromise.

14:07Morgana!

14:09She's been talking to someone,

14:11the maids at night.

14:15What brings you here, old comrade?

14:17Anything I can help with?

14:19Indeed.

14:21When's the prince you transformed

14:23into a bluebird?

14:25Oh, him.

14:27He angered me.

14:28He ditched my goddaughter.

14:30Isn't she lovely?

14:32He did no such thing.

14:34He was tricked.

14:38How on earth did you break out?

14:40It's true, Morgana.

14:42I've known Charming a long time.

14:44He has integrity.

14:46He told me everything.

14:48Morgana understood at once

14:50that she was made upon in Seraphina's envy

14:52to make her daughter the princess.

14:54I can't.

14:56It's the Spell of Permanence.

14:58From what I remember,

15:00the Spell of Permanence can be broken

15:02if it's broken into two halves.

15:05That is indeed right.

15:15Thanks, comrade.

15:17Our paths are bound to cross again.

15:20Never know.

15:22Perhaps one magic may need a helping hand next.

15:27My love!

15:28My dear prince!

15:30Finally!

15:31It's been a long wait.

15:36Where to, my darling?

15:37To happily ever after.
